MTW Nexus Set Preview - White Knight

MTW: White Knight

Okay folks,
We proudly present the first, play tested, balanced and artistically finished card from our upcoming game THE MAGITECH WARS - techno fantasy skirmish battles.

THE WHITE KNIGHT

* With a cost of 3 he is medium priced (and you get quite a lot for that cost)
* His power of 9 outmatches all weenies and rank-and-file minions
* Two health points make him quite durable
* The Protector ability is both a blessing and a curse at the same time
* Speed of Light makes him strike so fast, his enemies have no chance to react

New game and a playtest form

"Finished" my second print-and-play game last month. Name of it is Space Relics. Here's the blurb:

The Game Crafter Is About To Get Its 20,000th Order And Is Giving Away 20,000 Pennies in Shop Credit To Celebrate!

The Game Crafter - The Leading Print On Demand Game Publisher

It’s hard to believe that The Game Crafter is going to get its 20,000th order in the next few days! After all, when we launched this service (as a beta) back in July of 2009, we weren’t even sure there was a market for print on demand game publishing.

Sports anyone?

I am expanding my game design work into the field of sports starting with revamping tennis to make it more exciting to watch. As I plan to make it 20% better the new sport will be known as twelvenis.

First improvement; explosive balls set on a random timer.

Hello all,
Time for another blog entry. This time its about my secondary project titled "The Magitech Wars". There is a thread on BGDF about how it came to be. All started with the idea to create a boardgame version of the old computer game "Archon", with a modified theme and modified gameplay. After the discussion, this is where we ended up:

Game Designer Survey Results

In the last half of December through the first part of February I distributed a survey for game designers on the Internet: "This is a short (10 questions, five minutes or less) survey for people who call themselves game designers, video or tabletop (which is as good a way to define who game designers are as any other)." In the end, 142 respondents have had a game published commercially, along with 46 self-publishers, more than half of the 346 respondents. Here are the results.

Playtest Tabletop Day

A friend of my agreed to play my steampunk miniatures wargame during tabletop day in our LFGS, having nothing better to do. The game took about 2 hours due to explaining all the rules and just general first time learning the new system. We each had 6 unbalanced models. This was a game of rules playtesting, not balance playtesting, after all.

Halfway through he commented that it was fun. At the end of the game, the negative things he had to say were:
